ISAAC SCHNEER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

MENS DRAWERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,506, dated March 7,1882.

Application filed December 21, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC SCHNEER, of New York, in the county and Stateof New York, havein vented an Improvementin Mens Drawers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

Figure 1 is a front view of the improved mens drawers. Fig.2 is a bottomView ofthe crotch. Fig. 3 is a face view of a modification thereof.

The object of this invention is'to avoid the sharp crotch in mensdrawers, which at present is produced by the straight seam that joinsthe legs. Inserted pieces have been resorted to as a means of overcomingthe difficulty; but they were a mere doubling of material, as-they didnot draw down the central seam.

My invention consists in carrying the edg- I ings or linings of thefront slit down and crossing them beneath the crotch, thereby giving thecentral seam that joins thelegs a support and drawing it down frombelow. The rise of the central seam and its chafing action will thus beprevented.

A is a pair of drawers constructed in every other respect like ordinarydrawers. a is its npperedging or lining. b and c are the edgings orlinings of the front slit. These are carried down and crossed beneaththe crotch, as is clearly shown in Fig. 2, so that they willbeunderneath the middle seam that joins the legs. The advantages aboveindicated, and others, will be fully realized by this construction.Theremay also be an inside piece placed over the said middle seam, ifdesired, to cover any roughness in said seam.

The edgings b 0 may, if desired, be crossed above the crotch, as shownin Fig. 3.

A cross-piece may be inserted to unite the edgings b cat the lower endof the slit.

The parts a b 0 may be in one piece, as in Fig. 3.

I claim- In mens drawers, the edgings or linings b andc of the frontslit, carried down and crossed on the crotch, substantially asspecified.

ISAAC SOHNEER.
